EASA PPL exam papers.
The CAA document to which you refer includes the following statement:
So it look like youir worries are unfounded.
The CAA will liaise with colleagues in the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and other EU National Aviation Authorities to develop the new syllabus, which will continue to fully meet the requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).

Yes, but as an RTF trying to get your head around how to become an ATO, you don't need the additional problem of changing the syllabus you teach, plus I can't see Brussels and Cologne agreeing to it but some idiot at the CAA going ahead with it.

Pegasus,
Many pilots, instructors, and examiners have complained that the current syllabus is not fit for purpose. What is wrong with trying to provide an alternative syllabus which better fits the needs of a modern PPL by providing them with up-to-date knowledge and skills needed to operate safely?
The old syllabus is unlikely to disappear as it is an Acceptable Means of Compliance. You can carry on with your head in the sand if you wish, teaching to a 1950s syllabus...

So does that mean come 2014 there will be another set of exam papers?
This is costing someone time and money, where's that going to come from?
I can see another £100 going on examiner applications!
CAA still operating like a department of government.
Nothing changes.

), regrettably it seems that some RFs and FIs refuse to move with the times and resolutely refuse to embrace techniques such as 'standard closing angle' for navigation and 'point and power' for visual approaches. Doubtless the same people have a love affaire with the Dalton computer and regard GPS as a tool of Satan?isthatsmoke...

The RAF amended its syllabus in the mid 70s, much of what appears in the latest EASA regurgitation appears to be what was thrown out at that time. The current syllabus is unquantified, unqualified and as a result, the exam questions are moving further and further away from reality. It is nice to see an attempt to correct this situation.
